Chapter 102: Sunset in the Border City
"Captain, what's going on?" Ma Zhiyong and the others had already arrived, just in time to see the scene of the collapse of the quicksand river bridge and the departure of the black-clothed old man on the other side.
"Ma Zhiyong, you take the brothers back to the Two Realms Pass and report today's events to Li Shangren!" Han Qianying said coldly.
"Yes, Captain!" Ma Zhiyong replied loudly, and then said with some confusion: "Captain, what about you?"
"Fluttershy was kidnapped by them!, I'm going to chase them back!" Han Qianying said coldly as she looked at the rolling river of quicksand.
"Captain, let's go with you!" Ma Zhiyong stopped in front of Han Qianying and said.
"No, you're too slow! you can't keep up, I'm afraid Fluttershy will have an accident if I'm late!" Han Qianying said in a deep voice.
"Captain, you can't go alone!" Leng Xiaosi and the others said one after another: "Let's go together!
"Yes, Captain!" shouted the others.
"Captain, even if you don't let me go, I will sneak over!" Ma Zhiyong said in a deep voice.
Han Qianying looked at these resolute men in front of him, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, "Okay! Then leave two people to go back and report the news, and the rest of the people will come with me!"
"Little Four, Mo Armor, go back!" Ma Zhiyong said to Leng Xiaosi.
"Brother Ma, I'm ......!" Leng Xiaosi was a little reluctant.
"You two are the lowest cultivators here! Hurry back and explain the matter here, maybe someone will be sent to pick you up from Guannai!" Ma Zhiyong said loudly to the two of them.
"Yes, Brother Ma!" Leng Xiaosi straightened his waist and answered loudly. "Take care!" turned back to Mo Kai and said, "Kuroko, let's go!"
"I'll go first, I'll leave a mark on the road, you guys be careful!" Han Qianying commanded, stepped on his sword, and chased in the direction where the Sand Clan team disappeared.
"Brother Ma, what should we do?" asked the man next to him.
"Leave the horse behind, otherwise the goal is too big, and when we cross the river, we will immediately find a way to change our clothes, so that we can blend in!" Ma Zhiyong groaned slightly, and soon made a preliminary plan.
"This is easy to do!" said the turnaround on the side. I turned around and ran towards the market, and came back after a while, "I touched a few Sand Clan shops and found dozens of clothes. Brother Ma, let's go!"
More than 20 people quickly crossed the quicksand river and disappeared into the depths of the desert.
One afternoon in half a month, a brigade of Sand troops appeared on the other side of the quicksand river.
In the market outside Shaliu Town, chickens and dogs suddenly jumped, "Run!
Many people are still looking back in amazement, and the more alert ones have run back to Shaliu Town. "Close the gate!" someone shouted.
The gates began to creak shut, and the people outside woke up from a dream, crying and hurrying to the town.
The army of the Sand tribe began to drive their horses down the river, and suddenly the black pressure on the quicksand river almost cut off the river. In a short time the vanguard horses had crossed the river and rushed into the bazaar.
The gate of Shaliu Town was finally closed, and the cries of those who remained outside the high walls shook the sky. When the wolf smoke was burning in the stockade, a hurried bell had already sounded, and many middle-aged men picked up knives and guns and ran up to the wall to prepare for the battle.
The people outside the customs are strong, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold on this side of the pass. However, looking down from the wall, it was the most daring man, and he couldn't help but tremble and tremble.
The black and oppressive sergeants here have reached the city, and they are still crossing the river over there. The man at the head looked coldly at the people on the wall, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
"Goal, Two Realms Pass!
Watching the army below hula march eastward, almost all the people on the wall collapsed to the ground.
"Mother, is this going to war?" someone muttered, "I haven't fought for hundreds of years, what's the matter?"
"Even so, it's usually just a small group of sand bandits who come over to rob from time to time, and I haven't seen such a large-scale army for decades!" an old man sighed.
"It's okay, they didn't attack us!" wiped the cold sweat on his face, and someone suddenly remembered that there were still people outside. "Hurry up and let Zhang Mazi and them in!"
When they looked down, they fell silent. The situation was urgent, and dozens of people were blocked out of the town before they had time to return. Now there was a mess below, dozens of people lying in a pool of blood, and their heads were already in different places.
"Oh my God!" the man on the wall cried out in sorrow and fell to his knees in the dust.
The journey of more than 100 miles under the gallop of the desert horse is just a matter of an hour! The beacon smoke of Shaliu Town has passed through several towns and has reached the two boundary passes.
This is the first pass of the mountain pass of the two realms, a high wall of more than ten miles is connected with a male pass standing between the left and right mountains. In ancient times, the Tiandu Mountain Range was set up by the Supreme Venerable to set up a forbidden space magic circle and a warning magic circle. Whether it was a spiritual weapon magic weapon or a high-level cultivator, they couldn't easily cross the Tiandu Mountain Range. The Two Realms Pass is the most convenient and fastest of the only three paths for the Western Sand Tribes to enter Middle-earth.
The first level seems to be tall and majestic, but the defense line is too long to block ordinary sergeants, which is not a problem for Jindan Zhenren who can fly with swords and volley void crossing.
Hearing that the Sand Tribes are coming, the city walls are already full of soldiers. General Chang Luo, the general stationed here, pressed his long sword in his hand and looked down at the dish wall. I saw that there were ten thousand people in the black pressure below, and a black flag fluttering in the middle, with the book "Jingzhou Envoy Lang" written on it.
"It's the army of the Marquis of Jingzhou!" Chang Luo said to Mu Tu, who was on duty at the two realms of the Wufeng Gate on the side. Mutu's face was heavy, someone from the Ninth Squad had reported something a few days ago. Han Qianying actually led a small team to go deep into the west of the quicksand river, and he felt that it was inappropriate. I sent a note several times to get her back, but I don't know if I didn't answer or didn't receive it, and there has been no news.
"Is General Chang on the other side?" a rider stood out from the crowd, dressed in a black robe, and shouted in front of the battle.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Chang Luo shouted: "My Jingguo and you Jingzhou have not been at war for a hundred years. You are openly showing the two borders, but you want to provoke a war. Our human race does not love war, but it is never afraid of war!"
"General Chang! To fight or not to fight, it's not me, but you!" Lang Xiong said loudly: "My young master Lang Zheng, I went to Hedong to play some time ago, but I haven't returned it yet, and it is said that it was taken by your people! Hand over the young master Lang Zheng, let's turn around and leave." ”
"Lang Zheng?" Chang Luo was stunned for a moment and glanced at Mu Tu. Mutu shook his head, indicating that he did not know about it.
"General Ben has never heard of this! I'm afraid it's a miscommunication! General Lang should investigate it clearly first!" Chang Luo replied loudly.
"If General Chang insists on refusing to hand over people, then I have no choice but to go to the gate to find it myself!" Lang Xiong also had no intention of dealing with him, and said bluntly: "Before sunset, if you refuse to hand over people, then you will meet each other!"
"Master Mu, how should this be?" Chang Luo was a little uneasy, and his tone was slightly anxious. "Who the hell has arrested someone else, just hand it over quickly! lest the lives of the people be ruined!" Although this was self-talking, Mutu knew that it was meant for himself.
Mu Tu was a little annoyed, a border guard of the kingdom dared to talk to him like this. I didn't like it in my heart, and my words became cold. "General Chang believes it or not! I didn't let anyone arrest Lang Zheng! No one sent it to me!"
"But I heard that the Ninth Team is missing?" Chang Luo asked tentatively.
"Hmph!" Mu Tu said angrily: "Speaking of which, I should have asked them for talent! How could the Ninth Squad disappear for no reason? After a while, General Chang would have to wait for himself to ask!"
Chang Luo looked at the black camp under the city, and felt a little weak in his heart. Although there were soldiers in the city, there were only three thousand. For many years, the border passes have been peaceful, and many people have never even seen blood, and it is a dream to expect them to block the army of 10,000 people under the city. And in the opposing army, I don't know how many monks there are? In addition to himself, there are also six foundation builders and more than 100 late stage Qi cultivators. If you talk about strength, you still have a number of patrol squads.
There are a total of twenty patrol teams, except for the missing Ninth Squad, and the Seventh Squad, which has not returned from patrolling, everyone else is in the city. Eighteen foundation building cultivators, nearly four hundred late stage Qi cultivation, this is a huge force.
Alas, he should not have been unable to suppress his anger and offend Mutu. Chang Luo regretted it a little, but now he can't let him apologize. Perhaps, most of the Jinghou army is just bluffing! After a while, they will come over to negotiate.
However, despite thinking so, Chang Luo still ordered to go down, let people prepare for battle, and move all the ordnance to the city.
There's nothing wrong with being careful!, he thought.
The sun slowly set in the west, and there was silence above and below the city. In the afterglow of the setting sun, even the smoke of the cooking rose straight into the blue sky. Chang Luo looked at the round sun, which was red like a big fireball, sinking little by little.
A desolate and tragic sound of iron horns rang out in front of the pass. The black-armored army, which was originally forbidden to move, suddenly moved and moved towards the city wall.
Chang Luo's heart sank, he stood still with the city bricks, and shouted: "Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"
Spears pointed diagonally out of the city, turning into a jungle of steel.
Yun Zheng and the others received the attack on the Two Realms Pass, and it was already dusk on the second day. The decision on the Jinwu platform overnight, one door and seven factions decided to send people to support, no matter what the cause is, the two realms must not be lost!
The head of the Wufeng Gate Cai is categorical.
According to the rules of the millennium, Jindan Zhenren cannot come forward, otherwise it will mean an all-out war. From this, it can be seen that there are a large number of monks in the opposing army to help in the battle.
Master Cai glanced at the head of the seven factions and said loudly: "In the battle of the Two Realms Pass, we must win!" According to the news sent back from the front line, there are about no less than five hundred foundation building monks in the opponent's army array. When defending the Two Realms Pass, we already had nearly seventy Foundation Builders killed or wounded! The rest retreated to the third level, relying on the wall and the large protective array to block the opponent's two waves of attacks. ”
"There are about a hundred foundation building monks in Guanli, and the gap between them and the number of people on the other side is huge. I decided to send 400 foundation building monks to participate in the battle, and Wu Fengmen, as the big brother, should not hesitate. I'll send a hundred people here, and the rest will be all combined!"
